Cable entry installed from outside
10 July 2022
DESIGNED FOR installation from the outside of a control cabinet Conta-Clip's new modular KDSI-SR cable entry system for reliable sealing, maximum flexibility and time saving feed-through for cables with and without plugs.
Part of the popular KDS Click cable management range, the KDSI-SR system, allows for easy, flexible reconfiguration of existing installations. The components can be easily removed, exchanged and reassembled.
The clever system concept for the separable insertion of individual sealing elements facilitates customised cable management – since cables with plugs do not have to be disassembled and reconnected for retrofits or servicing, the manufacturer's warranty is retained.
The KDSI-SR system is based on the proven modular design and simple assembly concept of the KDS program. It merely features an inverse tapered design of the screw-on frame’s opening and includes an additional two-part cover with TPE seals in three levels. This ensures an absolutely tight fit of the sealing elements, which are available for one, two or four cables or as blanking plugs.
The sealing elements with serrated edges and a tapered design provide IP66 ingress protection and reliable static strain relief in compliance to DIN EN 62444. They also allow for high packing density in comparison to cable glands.
The halogen- and silicone-free KDSI-SR cable entry system is suitable for a wide range of requirements and ambient temperatures from -40 °C to 120 °C. KDSI-SR frames are available for 4, 6, 8 or 10 sealing elements in various configurations to match the number and diameters of cables.
